How to use the Fasciitis Fighter R2

The Fasciitis Fighter R2 can be used for stretching, strengthening and balance work.

STRENGTHENING: The high load strengthening exercise shown was based off the original study (using rolled up towel) which found clinically relevant improvements and superior outcome compared to a stretching group at 3 months.

The exercise was completed every 2nd day and the progressions were made after the following timelines:

• 0-2 weeks – 3 sets of 12 repetitions
• 2-6 weeks – 4 sets of 10 repetitions
• >6 weeks – 5 sets of 8 repetitions

Resistance was then added as tolerated via a backpack containing books and the exercise was conducted at a tempo of 3 seconds up, 2 seconds hold, 3 seconds down.

**Gradual progression at a tolerated load is important. You should be able to perform normal calf raises on a flat surfaces prior to starting on a Level 1 two leg raise until single leg raises are tolerated.
